Guyver 1 Figma Review

I LOVE THE GUYVER, I have said that many, many, many times on this blog before and when the Guyver Figma was announce a long time ago I was excited to get this, and almost a year after the Figure have been release I finally have it and also I'am this is the first time that I'am trying out my new review station.

The Box

Details

I
have to get this out of the way right now, sadly on my figure there is a bit of
paint scrape on mine. on the Abs you can see there is more heavy of paint on my
figure, I have seen other reviewers and this is just on mine yours will
probably not have that, 2nd on the left thy there is some more paint scratch on
it which also sucks but again will not be on yours. Details on this figure for
being the most part being simplistic looks very good. The main body is this
nice teal color and all of it is smooth. the head and looking at the head, his
head fin looks great with an excellent detail on organic bits and the red
circle on it as well, we also have the century orbs in this nice silver paint
sounded by the organic parts of the Guyver , they do not move but that is ok. The
head beam is the small green piece that is small is well excused and below that
is his control medal which looks how it should for the Guyver. I wanna talk
about the eyes for a seconded because their impotent because for this figure
they are a translucent dark pink color that are more larger and rounder eyes,
which is how this looks in the 2005 show, in the manga and OVA the Guyver eyes
are smaller and pointer eyes, I do not mind this since because I admit I
thought out was the same eyes from the whole show entirely so this get a slide
by me. next is his exotic vents and vibration orbs are nice looking, the figure
also has 2 connectors on it to the head and that is another piece all tougher
so you do not need to fear about breaking it, and finally the gravity orb on
the waste is on the Guyver itself. Everything else on the figure is either
smooth with shoeing organic bits in a very dark purple color.

The Sholderpads and Legguards

Before I get started with the articulation I should mention this, the shoulder pads are on this ring like system and bit of rubber feel and this is there for better movement in the arm. next is the hip pieces and they are on this rubber joint so you can move the figure, also I should say don't leave the leg piece in a beddable pose for a long time since I do say it will be like that pose forever.

Articulation

The
articulation for the figure is flawless, as in there is nothing hindering the
movement of the figure what so ever, and the best part of the figure the hinges
of the figure are not noticeable. head is on a ball joint, the head and neck
can fully move forward and the best part it hips the joint and not making it noticeable,
arm 360 and not blocked with the arm joint being on that ring as said before,
while it may not look like it arm is on double hinge (again this figure does a
great job at hiding it's joints) and finally hand is on ball joint so you can
replace the hands (be warn tho since you can also take the arm joint as well). Abe
crunch, and both legs are not hinder with the rubber leg piece, leg is not on a
double joint but the leg can go very far back touching the thy. And finally
while it may look the foot is hinder it is not and the foot has a hinge for the
toes.

Size Comparisons

For size comparisions we have Kamen Rider Black 2.0 Ver. and he is slightly shorter. and as it is stated this figure is smaller then other figmas and it is more to be with figuarts, since this is my first and only figma this is somehting that I'am told.

Accessories

Do not think that the Guyver Figma is lack luster in the accessory
department because the Guyver comes with a ton of accessories.

For reargue Figma collectors the figure comes with of course
a Figma bag for all accessories and a Figma stage, but I should mention that
for this figure being smaller the stage doesn’t fit will in it, even tho it has
a smaller piece to connect to the Figma stage, it looks I did a good job
keeping the figure costly on the stage, but it quickly went down when I slightly
tap it. also when you pre order this figure you got the first release bones of
a display piece, I oblivious do not have it but if I want to I could have
printed out some things for a display piece and also a black box for the Figma
stage. With the stage you can make it look like the Guyver is flying. And a hand
holder for your hands, and also a replacement hand peg.

The Guyver comes with close fist hands (which are the default
hands, slightly open hands which are not to noticeable different from the close
fist. Karate chopping hands, spayed open hands to recreate his signature
Pressure Cannon which I admit I poorly recreated.

Next is his High-Frequency blades which are long blades and
fit snug and good on both arms good.

He comes with an extra
chest and He comes grippy hands, "for what" you may ask? to make his

MEGA SMASHER

Yes,
you can even recreate the signature Mega Smasher or (the boobs of death as some
people call it) and it looks great. Now while the Mega Smasher is a yellow translucent
color on the box and here it is a just clear piece. I do not mind that how ever
since because I have heard that you can customize it the mega smasher with
LEDs, I do not know how to or seen it but I know it is doable is all. So if you
know how to let me know.

And
finally what the Guyver comes with is the G-unit which is another outstanding
piece of plastic, even tho this does not exist when the Guyver is in well the Guyver
himself you can use this for fun displays or pictures like a Kamen Rider
Guyver, a Gundam Guyver, or even a Guyver transformer, and even more possibilities.

Should you buy this?

the answer is abslouty yes

If you’re a fan of the Guyver and love the franchise just
like me then you should buy it, if you want a Figma of the Guyver and could not
get old Max Factory mold then get this, you should buy this if you just want a
sweet Figma figure. I do consider the Guyver Figma cloest thing to being a
perfect figure. Now that is a HUGE thing to say considering other figures and
other types of figures, but honestly I do mean what I say that this is a very
perfect figure. The articulation is no problem what so ever, even the chest you
have a different chest just to the figure better articulation, there is a lot
of accessories that comes with the toy, it is well detailed, I honestly could
not find a problem with the figure. the only thing that i could find with it is
more small nick picks, the washing on the figure is not good but that is my
figure only, the blades on the arms and head will pierce your skin and probable
draw blood (and from a high enough stand) and the real complaint is the Figma
stage cannot go into the back peg hole but other than that I really hope
everyone get this figure because this figure is awesome. I really hope this
line continues so we can more Guyver Figma since there is so few of them like
Figma Guyver 2, 2F, 3 Guyver Gigantic, Zoanoids﻿ and maybe even the American Guyver
figures.
